Secretary of State Rex Tillerson acknowledged on Wednesday that he would have “no way to know” if the Russian government had bugged the Oval Office during President Trump’s meeting with Russia’s foreign minister and ambassador last week.
“I would have no way to know that,” Tillerson said when asked by NBC News correspondent Andrea Mitchell about the possibility of Kremlin surveillance of the meeting.
Tillerson’s response followed Russian President Vladimir Putin’s offer earlier Wednesday to provide to members of Congress a transcript of Trump’s meeting with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.

That’s not what they were saying last week. Then it was that they routinely sweep the WH for bugs and would know if the Russians had planted anything. Now they “have no way of knowing”. Good grief!
